Ranvir Singh Eyes Celebrity Traitors Role After Co-Star's Appearance
Good Morning Britain presenter Ranvir Singh has openly expressed her enthusiasm for joining the cast of the hit BBC gameshow The Celebrity Traitors. In an exclusive revelation, Singh admitted she would relish the opportunity to participate in Claudia Winkleman's murder mystery series, which has captivated audiences with its blend of psychological intrigue and celebrity drama.
Following in Kate Garraway's Footsteps
Singh's interest follows her co-presenter Kate Garraway's memorable stint on the show, where Garraway was eventually banished after raising suspicions over sundried tomatoes and bewildering fellow contestants with her flabbergasted reactions. Singh hinted that she would love to emulate Garraway's experience, describing the format as more psychological than traditional quiz shows.
The Celebrity Traitors proved to be iconic television during its previous season, featuring a star-studded lineup including eventual winner Alan Carr, alongside Celia Imrie, Jonathan Ross, Nick Mohammed, and Tom Daley. These celebrities navigated the tense dynamics of playing as Faithfuls or Traitors, creating must-watch moments that fueled widespread discussion.
Speculation Surrounds Next Season's Cast
Rumours are currently swirling regarding potential participants for the upcoming series, with names like Tom Hiddleston, Bob Mortimer, Danny Dyer, and Ruth Jones being floated in entertainment circles. Singh's candid admission adds her to the list of possible contenders, though official casting details remain under wraps.
Singh elaborated on her attraction to the show, stating, The Celebrity Traitors isn't a quiz; it's more psychological and to do with body language and figuring out who is lying and who is not. That, I would love to do—a psychological quiz I would love to do. She contrasted this with traditional quiz formats, which she finds daunting, recalling her stressful experience on The Celebrity Chase as the most stressful day of my entire career.
Return to Riddiculous and Quiz Show Reflections
Meanwhile, Singh is preparing for the return of her ITV gameshow Riddiculous, which launches its third series weekdays at 3pm from February 9th on ITV and ITVX. Co-hosted with Riddlemaster Henry Lewis, the show features general knowledge questions and original riddles, with Singh proudly noting she contributed some riddles that made it to air.
Reflecting on her quiz show history, Singh mentioned her past appearance on University Challenge, emphasising her preference for psychological challenges over timed question rounds. She explained, I do not like the idea of being on the other side of a quiz at all, highlighting the intense pressure she felt during competitive quiz environments.
Discussing the new series of Riddiculous, Singh shared her optimism for its success, citing over a million viewers in previous seasons. She described the show as unique for its focus on riddles, which really tests the brain in lots of different ways, and expressed pride in her creative involvement behind the scenes.
As anticipation builds for both The Celebrity Traitors and Riddiculous, Singh's comments underscore the growing appeal of psychological gameshows in the entertainment landscape, blending celebrity participation with suspenseful gameplay that keeps audiences engaged and guessing.
